"The Vertically'fdispbsedf, 1721; teg thei" with the herizehtallyfidieiiesed"j cross bar 25, and the longitudinally disposed rail 27 whentakencollectively constitute a guard Gr whichasisapparent is adapted to be moved from a vertical position to a slightly inclined position as illustrated in t Figure at. t V a The shaft 13, rotatably mounted within the uprights 8 and 9, serves as a drum; adapted to receive thereupon a flexible .curtain 0r guard, indicated as a whole; by the numeral 28, th'ecurtain or guard comprising a plurality of preferably metallic plates 29,

fiexibly'connected together'jby. means of suitable cables or the ilike',as shown at 30, which are threadedthrough openings 31Vprovided in the metallic plates. 1 I f a As a means for automaticall elevating the curtain or guard 28, I ,provi e, working in a co-operative relationtwith certain other elements hereinbefore described, flexible cables 32' which are passed over guide I pulleys 83' secured toa suitable supp0rt1,jsuch as a ceiling or the like, xthe cab1es3-3 being adapted to support weighted elements, one

of which is shown at 34 in FigureQ, The weighted elements 34, as is .app'arentnvhen released by reason of the disengagement of ed tobe installed Within show 'WlIldQWS without detracting from the eneral appearance of the wlndow and, un; er normal conditions, the various co-operating elements of the deviceare positioned as shown in the accompanying drawings. \Vith the several elements of the device in their operative positions,"as shown the device as a whole maybe set H1130 operationby'an obstacle moved into contact with the pickets 26 with i such force as to'causethe guard G to be moved tothe position 'shownby the dotted lines of Figure 4. By moving the guard G to the position shown in dotted lines in Figure 4,thevpawl2 1-isfreleased from the gear or ratchet wheel 17, whereupon the Weighted elements 34, being thereby released, vaet; through the flexible cables, 32 to'unroll the curtain or guard 28 from its shaft or drum 13, moving the same into a vertical plane, in

, which position the entrance of one attempting to gain access 'to'the window is efiectivelyprevented. I i 7 It is to be understood that the form of my invention shown and described herein is to betaken as a preferred example of the same and that various changes in the size, shape vand arrangernent of elements may be reying my, invention and sorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention and the scope of the subjoined claims.

I claim: 7 '1. A. theft preventive device comprising a drum, a curtain rolled upon said drum,

means for' unrolling the curtain from said drum and lifting the same to an elevated position, means for locking the curtain against unrolling, and a pivotally supported guard cooperatively associated with said locking means and adapted to be moved to I release. said locking means whereby said curtain is unrolled the first named means.

2. A theft preventive device comprising a drum, a curtain rolled upon saiddrum,

drum, a movable guard, and means for looking said curtain against unrolling, the. latter named means beingactuated uponmovement of said guard in YOIIBNdlIBCiJIOII tov release the curtain whereby it is unrolledfrom said drum by the first named means; and

further actuated uponanovement ofsaid guard in an opposite direction to, lock the curtain against unrolling.

3. A theft preventive device comprising a drum rotatably supported, a ratchet wheel co-oper'atively connected to said drum, a.

curtain rolled upon said drum, means tending to unroll the curtain from said drum, 2..

pivoted movable guard adapted to be movQd in opposite directions about its pivots, and means for engaging said ratchet Wheel whereby said curtain is locked against unrolling, when said guard is moved in one direction and releasmg'said ratchet wheel means tending tounroll the curtain from said it when said guard is moved in an oppositevdt.

rect-io nto release the curtain whereby it first,

is unrolled from said drum by the named means. I a
